Add One drive/ Google drive to Send To menu


In today’s world where cloud storage is taking place of our small storing devices like pen drive, it may become a tedious job to upload tons of files to the cloud services like google drive or one drive. So how to make these tasks easy and convenient?  We can use the send to shortcut menu in windows, which is accessible by right click.

Requirements.

  • 1. A windows PC.
  • 2. One drive or Google drive already installed on PC if we need assistance installing Google drive or One drive, open link in new tab

Adding One Drive to SEND TO menu.

For this demo, we are using One Drive, but you can also do this with Google Drive as well. Certainly, this is one of the most effective ways to use right-click send to the menu on your Windows PC.

Let's get started! 

1. Now, open run from the start menu or by simply pressing Windows Key + R.


2. Write "Shell:sendto" in run command and hit enter. This will open a Send to a folder, where we will be creating a shortcut for one drive.


We can also navigate to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo, where USERNAME is your computer's name.



3. Right-click in the white space in the Send To Folder, and click on New and select Shortcut.




4. In the location field, browse the location of One Drive/ Google Drive.



5. Name the shortcut that you want to see in SEND TO menu.



6. Right-click on the file you want to send, and it will be uploaded to One Drive/Google Drive depending upon over selection.


We can also use this trick of editing "send to" menu for many other purposes like sending a folder to specific drive (C:, E:, etc), to a specific folder, and delete some unnecessary items like fax recipient.
